As the saying goes, “an architect’s dream is an engineer’s nightmare.” Modern buildings need to not only look good but to function as well. Energy efficiency, sound reduction, and durability all factor into the solid design of commercial buildings. Turning style into function is an art. For firms, such as our latest Best Dividend Capture Stocks List pick, which both make and design the products used in the construction of commercial buildings, it can mean big profits that translate dreams into reality.

Our pick is a glass specialist that provides products used for high-performance and commercial real estate applications. While a window may not seem exciting, glass as a product has become high tech, including multi-pane systems, heating & cooling applications, U.V. protection and soundproofing as well as being used as a canvas for digital printing. Smart glass has moved into the commercial real estate lexicon. Because of the high-tech nature of today’s glass applications, our pick has continued to score big profits as property owners look to do more with their buildings.
Growth continues to find our pick as well. Retrofits, LEED certification, and tax credits have continued to support our pick’s cash flows. Property owners have looked for ways to increase their margins and drive tenants back into their buildings. By taking advantage of retrofit programs and green building certifications, property owners can charge higher rents. For our pick, that’s increased its backlog of higher-margined projects.
With its specialized smart-glass niche, supportive cash flows and high insider ownership, our pick continues to be a great dividend stock. As such, it’s also a great dividend capture play. A dividend capture strategy involves buying a stock before its ex-dividend date and then selling it after it has recovered the payout. With an ex-dividend date of Monday, May 20, our pick is primed for the strategy, as is evident from its historical track record of a recovery period within an average of 4.8 days after going ex-dividend.
For investors looking for a quick total return of income and capital appreciation, our latest glass & building products’ play could be a lucrative option.
